The parties in the "Other" column are: in Alaska, 19,346 Alaskan Independence and 2,094 Republican Moderate; Peace and Freedom in California; Independence in Connecticut; Independent Party in Delaware; Umoja in D.C.; these parties in Florida: Socialist 167, Socialist Workers 156, Workers World 28; Socialist in Louisiana; these parties in Massachusetts: Socialist 221, Prohibition 11; these parties in New York: Independence 197,246, Conservative 173,905, Liberal 95,207, Right to Life 53,107, Working Families 7,855; Socialist in Oregon.

All data is for September, October or November 2000, except Maine data, which is for June 2000. November 2000 data for Maine will be reported in the next issue. States not mentioned above do not provide for voters to register into parties, when they register to vote. Rhode Island registration forms ask the voter to choose a party, but the state does not keep track of how many people join any party. Utah switched to a system in which voters register into parties this year, but the state as yet has no data on how many registrants any party has. A court this year ordered New Jersey to let voters register into unqualified parties, but the decision is being appealed, and in the meantime the lower court order is not in effect.

Dashes mean that the voters are not permitted to register into a particular party, since the particular party is not, or was not, qualified in that state, and the state won't let people register into unqualified parties. A question mark means that the state has not tabulated the number of registrants in a particular party.

Totals in November 1998 were: Dem. 37,425,660 (44.94%), Rep. 27,695,767 (33.26%), Indp. & misc. 16,804,922 (20.18%), Constitution (then called US Taxpayers) 317,510 (.38%), Reform 245,831 (.30%), Libertarian 179,255 (.22%), Green 118,537 (.14%), Natural Law 70,032 (.08%), other parties 424,101 (.51%).

REGISTRATION TALLY

The Dec. 8, 1998 Ballot Access News carried a chart showing the number of registered members in each political party. However, the Maine data for the 1998 general election wasn't available when that chart was produced, nor was the Alaska data for the unqualified or newly qualified parties. That data is now available. Maine figures are: Democratic 296,970; Republican 268,276; Reform 17,700; Independent and miscellaneous, 350,807. Alaska new data is Libertarian 3,226; Republican Moderate 515; Taxpayers 2; Independent and miscellaneous 242,470.

The final tally for the nation for November 1998 is thus: Democratic 37,422,366; Republican 27,693,365; Indp. & Misc. 16,799,574; US Taxpayers 317,512; Reform 244,356; Libertarian 182,481; Green 118,537; Natural Law 70,032; other 424,616.

All data is for October or November 1996, except Maine data, which is for June 1996. November 1996 data for Maine will be reported in the next issue.

States not mentioned above do not provide for voters to register into parties, when they register to vote. Rhode Island registration forms ask the voter to choose a party, but the state does not keep track of how many people join any party.

A dash means that the voters are not permitted to register into a particular party, since the particular party is not, or was not, qualified in that state, and the state won't let people register into unqualified parties. A question mark means that the state has not tabulated the number of registrants in a particular party.
